Storage hack for Trucklife, stiffer softside storage

Harmony  • 

After I had built the sliding drawer for my storage totes, I had some space and found the perfect storage system to fit it. It was an old trunk organizer that my son had in his Ford focus. It was a relatively firm soft sided organizer and it fit perfectly in the bed of the truck. This holds my dry goods and canned goods. As well as some utensils. While traveling I was in and out of the storage container quite frequently. The one issue that I had was pushing it back into the bed of the truck. It would crumble and compress and was a little difficult to shove back in. With 20 minutes and a few scraps of lumber to spare, I built this easy fix. By attaching two slats of plywood to the bottom and screwing the storage divider to it, it created a set of rails that made it slide in easy and consistently every time.
